ness. But Is Now in Better Condi-
ton Than Ever to Serve the
Wants Of His Customers.
Rumors have been circulated to the
effect that Ballard, the express man, has
gone out of business. Such is not the
case, but, on the contrary, he is now in
better condition than ever to handle his
large business, which he has earned
from good, hard work and careful atten-
ton to the wants of his customers. He
has spent years in gaining the knOwl-
edge he has of his business, and while
he has not made $1,000, 900 in his ven
ture, still he has had pretty comforta-
bic living and has laid up large stock
of experience. In addition to the dozen
rigs of all sizes and shapes that are seen
on our streets every day, he has had re-
Gently built, at a cost of nearly 500, a
large covered van, which is seventeen
feet long and six feet high. This van
will be used for moving goods through
out the city, even going to White Bear
and Minneapolis. The rain or sleet
will have no effect to deter Ballard from
moving your goods if you have left an
order at his Office for the van. By re-
cent arrangement he will now, beside.
transferring trunks and small packages,
do general storage, packing, shipping
and forwarding business. a daily line
is run between st. Paul and Merriam
Park, Union Park, Hamline and st.
Anthony Park. Charges are moderate,
and goods will be handled by expert
enced employees in the most careful
manner. Special attention will be given
to moving pianos and furniture. If you
want to hire an omnibus for picnic or
an excursion, call ON Ballard and he
will furnish you what you want, and he
wont charge an exhorbitant rate for it,
either. His place of business is con
venient and handy, being located in the
new Espy block, 135 East Fifth street.
For further particulars call on j. A.
Ballard himself, and remember that he
is not doing business at the old stand,
106 East Fourth street, but in the new
stone block, No. 135 East Fifth street.
The old stand was too small, and he
had to move to place where he could
get room to turn around in.

A MONSTER METEOR.
1t Frightens the People of Novs
Scotia.

Scotia.
HALIFAX, Sept. ia special dis
patch from Darlington says: A won
derful phenomenon occurred here
Thursday night about O'Clock. A
luminous body, looking as large as an
elephant, with long tail attached, sud-
denly appeared in the southeastern sky
and shot out of sight in southerly di-
rection. The night was cloudless and
without a moon, but the stars were out
and strange soft blue and white light
lit up the whole sky as light as day.
The light was only five or six seconds
in duration, when all became suddenly
dark again. 1t appeared like fearful
explosion in the vicinity of the north
east arm. in which direction the light
was brightest, but the noise supposed
to accompany most explosions was
absent. A reporter was crossing the
North End canal when he was startled
by a sudden burst of fire. lighting up
the whole neighbOrhOOd. The meteor
descended like shot out of the misty
air. 1t looked like large electric light,
and long tail of sparks trailed behind.
The whole presented beautiful spec
tacle. To the reporter the fiery visitor
seemed to strike the ground short dis

sound was heard in the direction where
it had disappeared. The sound kept in
creasing in volume till the roar was ter
rible. 1t seemed as if the bed of the
ocean was huge pot and the water was
boiling over. Some people fancied they
felt light tremOr of the earth. but most
persons felt nothing of the kind. The
noise, which was terrifying, lasted fully
minute and ahalf. What was doubtless
the same meteor was seen in Halifax,
but the time was o'clock. Its fall was
accompanied by most vivid illumina-
ton of the whole city. There was a
sudden and almost dazzling flash, last
ing for couple of moments, then all
was over. At Darlington darkness pre-
vented the prosecution of any search, as
the appearance was not followed by any
unusual phenomenon. The meteor was
also seen at LOckpOrt, Shelburne, Var
mouth, Amherst and other towns in diff
ferent parts of the province. A Bridge
water dispatch says that when first seen
|, it appeared to be a large falling star,
, but before it reached the earth it burst
into small stars of exceeding brilliancy,
which Illuminated the heavens in truly
grayiSh light. A kissing sort of noise
was plainly heard there during the
Dmeteor's fall. A Lockport dispatch SAYS
{ the meteor was followed few minutes
, after its disappearance by a sound re-
sembling that of distant thunder.

Y A REJoINDER IN RHYME.

To the Editor of the Globe.
ApropoS of DR.. Hammond's article
on Maternity" in recent issue, beg
permission to present the following,
which hope may find space in your
valuable ppaer:
While looking through
The daily review
Of news and reviews for Sunday or two
l saw what doctor of very great note
Recently wrote
About our wives and ladies OF fashion,
As II the passion
For infantile sue ton
And reproduction
Was in imminent danger of going to destruc-
ton.
He makes bold to state
That women of late
Have come to think the motherly duties
A very hard fate.
And seems to think our maidenly beauties
viii not propagate
Sufficient small boys
And feminine joys
To become the bulwark and stay of the state.
He goes on to show with wonderful graces,
How ladies who visit our watering places
And revel in silks and imported laces
And perfume their bosoms and powder their
faces,
Are of very strong mind
And not just the kind
And don feel inclined
To become nursing mothers for the good of
mankind.
He says it is one of the saddest of sights
To see ladies bathing in tlesh-colored tights,
Or dancing with strangers beneath the gas
lights;
And those who go rowing and stay out of
nights,
And insist upon freedom and womanly
rights,
Have made proclamation
To the lords of creation
To not become mothers for the good of the
nation.
think that such talking
Is perfectly shocking
For it is just as plain
As the hole in your stocking
That maids will be wives,
And wives will be mothers,
And we shall have plenty
Of sisters and brothers.
The theme is not pleasing
To say that the mOtherly instinct is eeasing,
For see how our cities and towns are increas-
ing,
Which seems to show out
Without any doubt
That the fountain of life is in no risk of
freezing. II. J. Pearce, NJ. D.

THE CHICAGO MARKET.
The Features Developed in the
Trading Yesterday.

AT0oAhS CStOrudys
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE grain market
opened quiet and sold off Immediately,
corn and wheat developing similar
weakness. First trades in October
wheat were at 69c. Everybody was
watching the rib deal this morning, ex-
pecting that something sensational was
going to happen, and not knowing ex-
actly where to look for it. The some
thing. that happened was a calm.
Usually the day after a tremen-
dOus break like that which Oc-
Cured yesterday large amount
of property that could not be
sold the first day comes on the market.
This morning the ''clean up" selling
market held steady at SS.15@S.20 for
October ribs, with Armour'S brokers
ready to take every thing offered at
these prices. Trade was on a liberal
scale, but not of remarkable volume.
Operators and news hunters are as much
at sea to-day as they were yesterday, as
to the exact meaning of the break. The
prevailing opinion is that Armour had
succeeded in selling out what high
priced stuff he had at about the top, and
in order to keep the consumption de-

barreled pork have been pretty well
absorbed, and that there will not be
more than enough left to supply the
Northern pinery trade, which takes
from $4,000 to $4,000 barrels every Octo-
Der. Ribs advanced to $S.25 and eased
off slightly before the close, October
quitting at SS.22I and January
at S6.25, after having sold as
high as $3.50. Lard ruled weak and
was at all times heavy, with more or
less activity, October ranging at $6.32L
@6.271a, and January at S6.40@6.36, the
last prices being at the inside. Ship
ments of lard have been remarkably
heavy for the past two weeks, footing
up nearly 25,OC0 tierces, yet the prices
have steadily declined. Most of othe
lard is said to be going directly across
the pond. While lard has been losing

The Seal Pirates,

New YORK, Sept. 1.-THE Tribune's
Ottawa dispatch says, in reference to
the Behring sea seizures of last sum-
mer: 1t is alleged here that breach of
faith has occurred through the ignor-
ance of the American authorities at
Sitka. 1t appears thatSecretary Bayard,
on receipt of the report of his officers at
Sitka, stating the grounds on which the
Canadian vessels had been seized, at
once telegraphed ordering restoration
of the skins to their owners, and also
informed the British minister at Wash
ington of his having done so. The mag
istrate at Sitka, on receipt of the tele-
gram from Secretary Bayard, ordered
his marshal to carry out the instruc-
tions, but, before this was effected, with
drew the order on the alleged ground
that the telegram might not be anthem
tic. He denies having received any
further instructions from Washington,
and refuses to act on Mr.. Bayard's tele-
gram. 1t is understood that this matter
will be made the subject of an mmedi-
ate report to the privy council by the
minister of fisheries.

hib iton ever madeEin this part of the
country. We invite inspection and
comparison regarding quality and
price. We have the largest exhibit and
it is composed of work superior in quail
ity to any other work shown. We have
long had the reputation of selling work
of the finest quality, but it has been the
general impression that our prices were
high.
A comparison of prices with other
work shown in competition will show
that such is not the case, and that in
reality we sell goods at a much closer
profit than any, other concern in the

quality. Our exhibit will be found ex-

WINNIPEG, Man., Sept. 17.-From a
member of the government it was
learned that the first shipment of rails
for the road is expected tomorrow or
the day following. 1t is further stated
that work on the road was going right
on, and that the laying of the rails
would be proceeded with as soon as they
came to hand. 1t is anticipated that
there will be no financial difficulty, and
it is believed NOrquay. who is on his
way home, had met with such partial
success as would ensure the building of
the road. Inquiries just completed by
the local government reveal the fact
that all the lots for which the Dominion
government asks an injunction to pre-
vent the building of the Red River Val
ley road belong to the squatters, who
are in actual occupation, and who can
compel the Dominion government, by
legal process, to issue patents to them,
If this is the case the Dominion govern
ment won't have leg to stand on.

Stickney's Plan.

Cn1CdSO Times.
Sensational reports have been set
afoat of late regarding the ambitions
and intentions of President Stickney, of
the Minnesota g. Northwestern. Besides
establishing a rival stock yards at Chi
cagO, terminals at Staten Island, N. Y,
building Kansas City line, and absorb
ing the Central Iowa, he is now credited
/ with the scheme of constructing or ar
ranging a new tranScOntinental line
stretching from New York. via. Chicago
and st. Paul, to some point on the
Pacific coast, and the first step taken in
the plan has been to buy hotel prop
| erty at ST. Paul, in which the general
offices are to be located. just exactly
how he is going to work to accomplish
all this is only family outlined by the
brilliant scribeS who give publicity to
it. He has the hotel, that is tangible,
and then there are some 800 miles of
road between Chicago and st. Paul
which presumably would be link in
this, great tranScOntinental route.
Nothing more or less than 5000 miles of
new road will satisfy some of the more
enthusiastic, while others hint that he
is going to hitch on the Northern Pacific
at one end and the Baltimore Il
Ohio at the other, and thus have
the through route ready at hand without
going to the trouble of building. SThe
Staten Island purchases are taken as
proof positive of the Baltimore & Ohio
part of the story, while in regard to the
Northern Pacific the rumOr- mongerS
content themselves with whispering
that Mr. Stickney is in close relations
with the management of that road, land
has already been promised the right of
way over it from st. Paul to Puget
sound. At New York it is said that
railroad men do not place much Gre
dence in the stories. They insist, how.
ever, that they are worth watching on
the part of all interested in the future
gOf the Minnesota & Northwestern, and
especially its rivals. Mr.. Stickney will
be considered a smart man is he sue
ceedS in carrying out such plan as rIl-
NOR credits him with having under con-
SideratiOn. If the Minnesota q North
western has the money behind it that it
is supposed to have,it is not safeito make
any predictions as to what it will accom-
plish. Northern Pacific people say they
know nothing of any proposed relations
between the Minnesota u Northwestern
and their road. Colgate IL Co., repre-
Sentipg John A. Rockefeller and Stand
ard Oil, say: ."We know nothing of any
coming alliance with the Minnesota d
Northwestern. such as is rumored We
pronounce any story of proposed COM
bination with any lines other than those
which have been fighting for represen-
tatiOn in the Northern Pacific board to
be premature. The company is not at
present making contracts with outside
companies We consider it would be
remarkable piece of work for Mr.. Stick
ney to. meet with success in carrying
